Machine learning motion sensing with auxiliary sensors

A method, comprising:

• obtaining reference PIR data from a PIR sensor that has a first field of view and is configured to generate reference PIR data that represents motion within an area of the property;
• determining that a first set of motion detection criteria is satisfied by the reference PIR data;
• in response to determining that the first set of motion detection criteria is satisfied by the reference PIR data, activating an auxiliary sensor to cause the auxiliary sensor to generate auxiliary sensor data, wherein the auxiliary sensor has a second field of view that overlaps with the first field of view;
• obtaining the auxiliary sensor data from the auxiliary sensor;
• mapping the auxiliary sensor data from an area of the second field of view to a corresponding area of the first field of view;
• identifying, based on the auxiliary sensor data mapped from the area of the second field of view to the corresponding area of the first field of view, an object that caused the motion detection within the area of the property;
• obtaining a second set of motion detection criteria based on the reference PIR data and the identified object that caused the motion detection within the area of the property;
• and
• determining whether the second set of motion detection criteria is satisfied by additional PIR data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining reference PIR data from a PIR sensor that has a first field of view and is configured to generate reference PIR data that represents motion within an area of the property;
• determining that a first set of motion detection criteria is satisfied by the reference PIR data;
• in response to determining that the first set of motion detection criteria is satisfied by the reference PIR data, activating an auxiliary sensor to cause the auxiliary sensor to generate auxiliary sensor data, wherein the auxiliary sensor has a second field of view that overlaps with the first field of view;
• obtaining the auxiliary sensor data from the auxiliary sensor;
• mapping the auxiliary sensor data from an area of the second field of view to a corresponding area of the first field of view;
• identifying, based on the auxiliary sensor data mapped from the area of the second field of view to the corresponding area of the first field of view, an object that caused the motion detection within the area of the property;
• obtaining a second set of motion detection criteria based on the reference PIR data and the identified object that caused the motion detection within the area of the property;
• and
• determining whether the second set of motion detection criteria is satisfied by additional PIR data.
